 Tram in Kassel advertising Bad
Hersfeld Festival by Nemorino
This particular tram is advertising the summer festival in nearby Bad Hersfeld.
Kassel is also starting to build a modern light-rail system called RegioTram which will run on tram lines in the city and switch to normal railroad tracks in the countryside, much like the system that is already operating very successfully in Karlsruhe, for example.
The first line of the North Hessen RegioTram system goes from Kassel to Hofgeismar and Warburg, and began operations on May 8, 2005. They have also begun building a tunnel under the Kassel Main Station, which will eventually be used by all four of the RegioTram lines. Leave a Comment

 1. InterCityExpress (ICE) at
Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe by Nemorino, 2 more photos
The station is practical and convenient but very windy, so dress up warmly if you have to change trains here in the winter.
Here you can get trains going north to places like Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin, or going south to Frankfurt am Main, Mannheim, Stuttgart and Munich, for example.
Second photo: The tram stop out in front of the railroad station at Kassel-Wilhelmshoehe. Here there are frequent connections to the city center.
Third photo: Two ICE trains at Kassel-Wilhelmshoehe, one arriving (three white lights at the front) and one departing. Leave a Comment

This is a dead-end station (Kopfbahnhof), meaning that all the tracks end here, so the trains have to go back out the same way they came in. Local and regional trains still stop here, but to get a long-distance train you have to go to the new station at Kassel-Wilhelmshoehe.
The inside of the main station has been nicely refurbished in recent years, and parts of it are now used as a venue for cultural events and exhibitions, including part of the Documenta.
Second photo: Front view of the Kassel Main Station. From the outside, the station still exudes all the quaint charm of jerry-built post-war architecture. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Not quite "public"
transport... by King_Golo
Almost all buses and trams go through the centre and stop at Königsplatz/Mauerstr. or somewhere in the same area. Prices are quite high (2,30 € for a single ticket). A day ticket is available for 5,40€. Leave a Comment

The photo on the left shows Kassel's central rail station, the Bahnhof (station) Wilhelmshöhe.
Take tram and busses for trips in Kassel and the near surrounding. It's operating at good frequencies, it's safe and reliable. A lot of locations and towns in the vicinity are accessable by train services.
(I have to admit I'm professionally occupied with public and rail transport; ask me if you need further infos). Theme: Bus
